Virginia Tech football secured their first victory over Clemson Tigers since 2007 with a dramatic 20-16 win at Memorial Stadium. Coach James Franklin made a pivotal decision in the closing minutes of the game, trusting his offense to secure the lead. The Hokies' victory improved their record to 6-2, marking the first time they achieved this feat under Franklin's leadership.
